  • May 2023 - Present

  This position is an undergraduate summer research experience granted by CMaT and funded by the NSF. The CMaT program has multiple sites at several different universities including Georgia Institution of Technology, the University of Georgia at Athens, the University of Wisconsin at Madison, and the University of Puerto Rico at Mayagüez. The research at each location focuses on developing novel techniques or improving current methods of cell manufacturing. There are weekly meetings/seminars connecting the entire CMaT program online, but research is in-person at the site location. For this position, I am working at the Georgia Institution of Technology with my mentor Dr. Jimin Lee and my PI Dr. W. Hong Yeo. In this position, I am developing research skills, applying my knowledge of sensor technology, and refining my presentation skills for lab meetings and the final research symposium. Show less
